How can you participate?

1. ENTERING CLASSROOM DATA: You can enter classroom data in two (2) different places.

"Data"
- Each "Data wiki page" is listed in the left column of the Wiki under the topic ( chicks, butterflies, tadpoles ).
- You will enter your classroom information in the data table.
- Depending on your area of study this data table may require weekly entries ( tadpoles ) or less frequent entries ( chicks, butterflies ).

"School Observation Log" ( EXAMPLE of Observation Log - using a different format )
- Your Log is listed on the "Data" page. Go to the "Data" page and click your school name to begin.
- All of your observations ( dates, photos/student drawings and written observations ) will be put on your "School Observation Log".
( Feel free to personalize your Observation Log with a link to your teacher or school webpage... )
